You guys are cutting down the LT1 which is wrong it is a great motor I know I owned a 1995 Pontiac Trans Am LT1 (3440 lb curb weight factory)for 10 years and it was a great car LOTS of TOURQUE down low more than the LS1 , I raced a 2003 Nissan 350Z it was a NEW car at the time and my car was 8 years old with 175.000 km on it , at a red light we raced , I was ahead a car lengths within 150 feet then we went up a steep hill and I was ahead at least 2 car lengths then I let go of the thottle because I was doing about 100 miles and hour and it was getting too risky with a corner comming up , anyways I`ll never forget that day , I looked over at the driver of the Z when I was pulling away form him and he couldn`t believe it , my car was bone stock exept for a K&N filter(not cold air type) and Flowmaster exhaust mufflers (only mufflers not full exhaust) then I thought WOW GM rules
My car was rated at 275HP from the factory but everyone knew they were underated since it was a Corvette motor it made closer to 300Hp 330ft tq , that was in 1995 quite respectable considering the Mustang Gts at the time made a weak 260hp , I also raced a Mopar Viper truck with that car but that`s another story ....
